Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

White folks watched a bunch of white folks sack the Capitol and then most of them be pardoned by the head of the white identity party and now we're supposed to listen to other white people pontificate about non-violence...

Here's the Washington Examiner piece that first quoted Stephen Miller ordering ICE to invade Home Deport a few weeks ago. This makes it clear that Miller himself ordered the escalation that has led to conflict in LA. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

Indiana's governor fired all the elected members of Indiana University's Board of Trustees. Given a recent policy change, he'll be able to fill those seats with appointees. Which means he'll basically have unilateral control over IU decisions, including who gets hired, tenured, and fired.

This gets the story wrong on a fundamental level because it assumes DOGE was about what Musk claimed. DOGE was about stealing data, getting Musk contracts, shutting down investigations and regulations of Musk’s companies, and terrorizing federal workers. On that front, it succeeded.

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls.

In a world where anyone might be shipped to a foreign prison without a hearing, some advice if approached by ICE: 1. Don't say anything. 2. Don't sign anything. 3. Talk to a lawyer ASAP. Gift link: wapo.st/3SbvLqA

Blumenthal to Noem: "Some of the expenditures your department is making- $200m for an ad campaign fawning over Trump's supposed accomplishments...none of these expenditures are in your budget...you're just spending recklessly & it would seem wastefully without authorization.
